What happens if nobody wants to use your spot to stay in? Presumably you never build up credits and can't use the service effectively.

Probably an interesting business challenge. I could see a few options:

1. Add the ability to buy credits. Hurts the "community" aspect, but gets around that problem and acts as a revenue stream.

2. "Joe Smith is a new host! Camp at his place for zero credits in exchange for writing a review!"

3. Just accept that people in undesirable locations don't get to use the tool.
